Red Hat 5.1 and /dev/lp0: Not detected

Red Hat 5.1 and /dev/lp0: Not detected

Post by YJ » Sat, 19 Sep 1998 04:00:00



When I intalled Red Hat Linux 5.1, it asked if I would like to
install a printer. I chose to install a local printer at LPT1
and picked HP LaserJet 4/5/6 series as my printer model.
(My printer is a HP LaterJet 6L)
And then, a window popped up and at the bottom it said that

/dev/lp0: Not detected
/dev/lp1: Not detected
/dev/lp2: Not detected

Is it a problem? If yes, could anyone please tell me how I can fix it?
Thanks.

1. Red Hat 5.0 vs. Red Hat 5.1

Hello everybody - what a beautiful day it is! Let's not get to funked
up, and get yourself a nice little pink flower to put in a orange vase.
Then grab yourself a slice and sit down and enjoy yourself. It can be
done in lot's of different ways -- just go ahead and do it under the
green sun.

Well... Nevermind.

I'm planning to buy Red Hat 5.1 official to replace my Red Hat 5.0 with.
But before I do that I wonder if there are any disadvantages, hazards or
such with RH 5.1, compared to RH 5.0. Is the installation as safe (don't
forget LILO), and things such as X, sound-support, printers and ppp -
are they still well supported, and not buggy or so?

Thanks in advance,

/Henrik

By the way, don't let the opening of this letter make you think that I'm
not serious enough.
